• Animal Bioassays • Immunoassays: • ELISA • PPIA • qPCR CEE 697z - Lecture #29

ELISA - Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay Lowest Detection Limit .05 ppb to .5 ppb • Direct Competitive ELISA using Polyclonal Antibody Anti-Microcystin antibody attached to a high binding capacity microtiter plate • MCYST-LR is used as a standard • Microcystin-LR-peroxidase used to compete with MCYST-LR for the binding site of • the antibody on the microtiter plate. Color developed inversely proportional • to MCYST concentration (lighter color = higher MCYST concentration) CEE 697z - Lecture #29 http://www.jove.com/science-education/5061/the-elisa-method

PPIA CEE 697z - Lecture #29

PPIA (Phosphatase Inhibition Assay) – How it works: • MCYSTs and NODLNs – naturally potent inhibitors of protein serine and threonin phosphatases (PP1 and PP2A) • Protein phosphatases dephosphorylate p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP) – commonly used substrate for alkaline phosphatases • Colorimetric • Detection limit similar to ELISA (1 – 20 μg/L) • Advantage over ELISA – ability to detect bioactivity in MCYSTs and NODLNs – therefore based on functional activity rather than structure CEE 697z - Lecture #29
